About this quiz
First names follow the formal names in the House of Representatives' table, so Jimmy Carter counts as a James and Bill Clinton as a William.
- James is the most common first name among the presidents, with six.
- Both George Bushes and George Washington make three Georges.
- Andrew and Franklin have been used twice each: Jackson and Johnson, Pierce and Roosevelt.

Note on the data. First names are read from the House of Representatives' table of presidents (James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, William J. Clinton, Joseph R. Biden Jr.), checked on 3 October 2026. Names and accepted short forms are those of Ribbia's us-presidents quiz.
